The New Frontier
Every great warx opens a new frontier. Prior to the first
world war, the.frontiers -were geographic. The civil war was
followed by the great' westward trek of war weary men and
women looking for new opportunities ahd a new life. With the
close of the current conflict, at least a major portion of the
new frontier, like that of twenty-five years ago, will be in
and training- are the tools with
which we work—and knowledge is
power only when it is translated
into power. Education does not
mean .that one will make a. .lot of
money, but it will, help" a person to
get a lot out of life."

Don't Bid Against Yourself
Addressing the graduating
class at North--.Canton., high
school Tuesday CB. Williams
warned the* graduates 'not to
bid against themselves but to
use; their ,'education Jas :$
means toward,, climbing toward their goal." , ...
"We,bid. against ourselves,"' Mr.
Williams stated, '-"when. -we. lose
sight of the fundamental-"ideas—
or the main ideas' toward which" we
should be working. One of our bigr
gest difficulties is'in interpreting
present day events into the future.
"We bid against ourselyes," he
continued, "when we don't have a
definite goal and plan for reachhvg
it." '*-' '
His third point was that a person would lose out-if he ever got
the idea that his education was
complete. "Education; arid
•*?ime in the scientific development of the nation's natural re
sources. Research men of the coal, metal mining and oil industries, working quietly in laboratories surrounded by military ■ secrecy, have lifted the veil "of the future. They have
seen the new frontier in all its promise, and enough hints rer
garding its nature and extent have leaked out to stir the
imagination of the man in the street.
The miracles of the sulfa drug, derivatives of coal, are just
one phase of the coming revolution in discovery and research.
Rubber synthetics are multiplying almost by the score, along
with plastics and other materials, each of which can easily
mean the establishment and growth of an entire new industry. Beyond these is a vast realm of discovery of which the
public as yet knows nothing. There is a petroleum synthetic,
for example, that is effective for its purpose even when diluted in a ratio of one part in 100,000,000; it is handled in a
'"concentrate" of .01 per cent. The future will see 100,000-
mile tires, 20,000-mile lubricating oil, 50 to 70-mile-to-the=
gallon gasoline, and sealed cooling systems with petroleum-
product liquids in both cars and planes.
This'country has just begun to grow. Individual initiative and the capitalistic system are inseparable from the
American republic type of government. They have barely begun to flex their muscles. If the Vay- is kept clear, they will
Tin
m^Jh^'aemt^^c^fi^ with the future^^^"gS-iltalth'Sl Do°S
way for future achievements can-be kept clear only by .a
steadfast resolution that in this country government must
not be the sinister competitor of free enterprise. This is as
true of the natural-resource industries as of the smallest popcorn stand. These industries hold the future of a new fron-
er. It will never materialize except.by the efforts of free
en under the stimulant of private ownership and management. ■
we-bid against ourselves when we
fail to see life as a whole, Mr.
William's told .the graduates they
would need a good basic philosophy
of life "because we have the most
fun when everyone plays by the
rules. Science has given us 15 extra
years of life but it hasn't told us
what to do with them. "What good
are those years if we don't use
them?"
In conclusion he offered a challenge to the students, telling them
that never before had there been
so great a need for real people and
leaders and not peanut politicians.
"The greatest teacher of all said,
'Greater things shall ye do. The
Kingdom of Heaven is within
you,' " he quoted, "and no congress,
no executive order is going to cancel that."
A number of seniors received
medals and other awards for their
various activities throughout their
high school carrer as well as during the past year.

Dim-Out
Those who -live in perpetual darkness, develop acuter
perception in other senses. We who are living in dimmed-out
cities and town are developing an acuter perception, too.
When the little street lamps blink out, we draw together
in closer companionship, in a realization of our dependence
one upon the other. Our sense of' neighborliness becomes
more acute.
When I come up into the darkened Pennsylvania station
or when I walk along the blackened streets of New York, I
notice this new feeling of friendliness. There is less hurry,
less rush, more politeness, more consideration. People talk
together, where before they would have ignored each other's
existence. There is a feeling of neighborliness in the air. We
are tied in bonds of common danger.
Our manner of living, too, has been dimmed out by war.
Those things we thought essential, for which we have fought,
are put &side.\We are already restricted in many of our liberties arid-'we.know that before long, we will have to dim out
^Bther privileges.
Only in material things does the dim-out prevail.; Our
faith is nbt dimmed out. Our spirit is not dimmed out. We
know that it is up to each and every one of us to make this
dim-out^a temporary thing—that it is up to us and to our
work, to turn the lights on again.
In this darkened period we need to be a-united people, to
hold hands with .our fellow men, to work with them regardless of race or ereed or color. We are no longer rich or-.poor,
worker.or entployer, black-or white, Catholic, Jew or Protestant. We are, each one of us, simply Americans, believers in a
common credo of Democracyy in the freedom of-all-mankind,
in the sanctity of .the individual.
In the dark hours the barriers of pride dim out first. We
are at last free to meet as highbofs, ready- to serve, comfort
and.befriend:onei another .regardless of whom our neighbor
may be. 'Let* tfs resolve, therefore,, that.when the lights.go
on again, we will carry "this" fmiacUmess. into our daily lives,
living as bravely in the light as in the darkness!
Freedom of the Press?
At the Hot Springs, Va., food conference, the administration first attempted to bar all reporters. Restrictions have
now been relaxed a trifle, but only a trifle. The reporters now
have a press headquarters inside the Greenbrier hotel
grounds, but are not allowed inside the' hotel except during
eut-and-dried public sessions of the food conferees. Even at
^j-he public sessions the reporters are not allowed to-interview
se delegates. Guardsmen are on hand to enforce these restrictions.
Is it thus planned to keep the American people ignorant
of this conference's deliberations on such things.as post-war
international fai'm, banking, labor,, health and transport
' authorities; post-war world ever-normal granary plans; a
post-war world RFC, AAA and FSA; and a possible post-war

Don't Bid Against Yourself
Addressing the graduating
class at North--.Canton., high
school Tuesday CB. Williams
warned the* graduates 'not to
bid against themselves but to
use; their ,'education Jas :$
means toward,, climbing toward their goal." , ...
"We,bid. against ourselves,"' Mr.
Williams stated, '-"when. -we. lose
sight of the fundamental-"ideas—
or the main ideas' toward which" we
should be working. One of our bigr
gest difficulties is'in interpreting
present day events into the future.
"We bid against ourselyes," he
continued, "when we don't have a
definite goal and plan for reachhvg
it." '*-' '
His third point was that a person would lose out-if he ever got
the idea that his education was
complete. "Education; arid
•*?ime in the scientific development of the nation's natural re
sources. Research men of the coal, metal mining and oil industries, working quietly in laboratories surrounded by military ■ secrecy, have lifted the veil "of the future. They have
seen the new frontier in all its promise, and enough hints rer
garding its nature and extent have leaked out to stir the
imagination of the man in the street.
The miracles of the sulfa drug, derivatives of coal, are just
one phase of the coming revolution in discovery and research.
Rubber synthetics are multiplying almost by the score, along
with plastics and other materials, each of which can easily
mean the establishment and growth of an entire new industry. Beyond these is a vast realm of discovery of which the
public as yet knows nothing. There is a petroleum synthetic,
for example, that is effective for its purpose even when diluted in a ratio of one part in 100,000,000; it is handled in a
'"concentrate" of .01 per cent. The future will see 100,000-
mile tires, 20,000-mile lubricating oil, 50 to 70-mile-to-the=
gallon gasoline, and sealed cooling systems with petroleum-

we-bid against ourselves when we
fail to see life as a whole, Mr.
William's told .the graduates they
would need a good basic philosophy
of life "because we have the most
fun when everyone plays by the
rules. Science has given us 15 extra
years of life but it hasn't told us
what to do with them. "What good
are those years if we don't use
them?"
In conclusion he offered a challenge to the students, telling them
that never before had there been
so great a need for real people and
leaders and not peanut politicians.
"The greatest teacher of all said,
'Greater things shall ye do. The
Kingdom of Heaven is within
you,' " he quoted, "and no congress,
no executive order is going to cancel that."

Dim-Out
Those who -live in perpetual darkness, develop acuter
perception in other senses. We who are living in dimmed-out
cities and town are developing an acuter perception, too.
When the little street lamps blink out, we draw together
in closer companionship, in a realization of our dependence
one upon the other. Our sense of' neighborliness becomes
more acute.
When I come up into the darkened Pennsylvania station
or when I walk along the blackened streets of New York, I
notice this new feeling of friendliness. There is less hurry,
less rush, more politeness, more consideration. People talk
together, where before they would have ignored each other's
existence. There is a feeling of neighborliness in the air. We
are tied in bonds of common danger.
Our manner of living, too, has been dimmed out by war.
Those things we thought essential, for which we have fought,
are put &side.\We are already restricted in many of our liberties arid-'we.know that before long, we will have to dim out
^Bther privileges.
Only in material things does the dim-out prevail.; Our
faith is nbt dimmed out. Our spirit is not dimmed out. We
know that it is up to each and every one of us to make this
dim-out^a temporary thing—that it is up to us and to our
work, to turn the lights on again.
In this darkened period we need to be a-united people, to
hold hands with .our fellow men, to work with them regardless of race or ereed or color. We are no longer rich or-.poor,
worker.or entployer, black-or white, Catholic, Jew or Protestant. We are, each one of us, simply Americans, believers in a
common credo of Democracyy in the freedom of-all-mankind,
in the sanctity of .the individual.
In the dark hours the barriers of pride dim out first. We
are at last free to meet as highbofs, ready- to serve, comfort
and.befriend:onei another .regardless of whom our neighbor
may be. 'Let* tfs resolve, therefore,, that.when the lights.go
on again, we will carry "this" fmiacUmess. into our daily lives,
living as bravely in the light as in the darkness!
Freedom of the Press?
At the Hot Springs, Va., food conference, the administration first attempted to bar all reporters. Restrictions have
now been relaxed a trifle, but only a trifle. The reporters now
have a press headquarters inside the Greenbrier hotel
grounds, but are not allowed inside the' hotel except during
eut-and-dried public sessions of the food conferees. Even at
^j-he public sessions the reporters are not allowed to-interview
se delegates. Guardsmen are on hand to enforce these restrictions.
Is it thus planned to keep the American people ignorant
of this conference's deliberations on such things.as post-war
international fai'm, banking, labor,, health and transport
' authorities; post-war world ever-normal granary plans; a
post-war world RFC, AAA and FSA; and a possible post-war

Administration, before a -gathering
of state and area supervisors -at

;"The food distribution orders are
clear," said Mr. Pollock'. , "They
specify just who is entitled to
slaughter livestock, naming these
as a farm slaughterer, a" butcher, a
local slaughterer, and ,a quota
slaughterer. Each is covered by a
